All Fighters Suspended Following Strikeforce 'Overeem vs. Werdum'

Every fighter who competed at Strikeforce's
June 18 event in Dallas has been handed a medical suspension by
the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

According to the governing body's official results, the vast
majority of the fighters received 10-day suspensions, with only
five men receiving longer orders of inactivity. The cause behind
the suspensions have not been released by the TDLR.

Undercard competitor Conor Heun
(pictured) received the longest suspension of the bunch, as the
lightweight will have to sit on the sidelines until Aug. 28
following a hard-fought victory over Magno
Almeida in which his elbow was dislocated in an armbar attempt.
Also receiving a considerable suspension was Justin
Wilcox, who suffered an accidental eye poke in the second round
of his lightweight contest with Gesias
Cavalcante. The bout was ruled a no-decision, and Wilcox must
sit out until Aug. 3.

Headlined by a lackluster heavyweight tournament quarterfinal bout
between reigning champion Alistair
Overeem and Fabricio
Werdum, the event emanated from the American Airlines Center
and aired on Showtime and HDNet. Both Overeem and Werdum received
10-day suspensions.
